Oh god

We are getting hit by “What Pikachu is that” from the younger generation now, just like we did back then by our parents ʘ‿ʘ

You’re not realising the implications of refusing to give Palworld it’s own identity, are you?

The fact that you call em pokémon instead of Pals tells a lot.

Instead we get plagiarism simulator 9000 because it made for great YouTube clickbait.

Cassette Beasts has so much soul put into it, it’s a fucking crime that it ain’t more popular

It’s been quite a long time but iirc there was originally a deal going on between them that got last second tossed out for Fortnite instead. Sadly I don’t fully remember

Kind of how Fortnite was a rehash of stolen ideas (originally) of PUBG

The reason people originally hated Fortnite was because not only did they blatantly plagiarise PUBG, Sony also intentionally screwed over PUBG to make Fortnite more popular

Exactly. Cassette Beasts and various other indie games have made bigger rounds before.

The only reason Palworld got popular was because of clickbait youtubers

Thank you. I didn’t get it at first

Cassette Beasts > Palworld and day for me. Try it it’s great

…pi?

Honestly, all Palworld has to do is change a few models and they’d be out of the hot water. I do have to say though the few models that are noteworthy are HIGHLY problematic to a point of “X pokemon but color swapped”

Seriously Palworld reminds me of so many games that are over hyped and then forgotten a month or two later.

It doesn’t help that the company behind it, Pocketpair, has a treck record of not finishing their games

Tbh I feel like a point should be made of sharing without adopting the culture. I found that oftentimes greentext centric communities end up with similar vile behaviors and language usage.

A common sentiment is that apparently it’s okay to use slurs. Lemmy greentext did a good job at not doing that so far.

Excuse me I can’t read that. What did you mean?

What do you expect? 4chan is infested with incels

The graphics argument is so weak anyway as Palworld is basically a more watered down ark survival with worse graphics and a pokemon esque design philosophy.

Meanwhile if you’re an ad-blocking app…

Makes me think of that one odd trend the Romans did where nobles tried to impress other nobles by having an entourage of “Hired peasants” that would follow them so they could be given money.

For how backwards the Romans were, some parts of their culture were pretty forward

The clown

Actually you are not that gnu
